"Mere Husband Ki Biwi": A Review of a Movie That Misses the Mark
The title of the movie immediately catches your eye. You enter the theatre with some optimism, recalling that director Mudassar Aziz's previous film, "Khel Khel Mein," had its enjoyable moments, despite being a remake. In this new film, though, the director has written the script himself, and you'll find familiar characters reappearing, along with predictable scenes and clichés that drag on for over two and a half hours. As long as it's entertaining, everything is fine. It's not enjoyable, though, to villainize a working woman using that reasoning and a little humour. It takes some time to realize what's happening in Mere Husband Ki Biwi because the movie uses silly humour to mask the issue.

My Review of "Rocky IV"
Rocky IV came out in 1985. It was probably the my first memory of Rocky. This is the movie that kicked off my awareness of Rocky and I saw this during the height of the cold war crisis. The problem is, back when I saw it then I didn't understand what was going on. I just thought they were superheroes fighting each other. Years later I would watch it again with some understanding of the backstory. I liked it even more Now it's been so many years later. There's the worry that I'm not going to like it anymore.

My Review of "Career Opportunities"
Career Opportunities is a comedy that came out back in 1991. It's very unconventional but it's supposed to be a John Hughes movie. With his track record, I had to check it out. I was wondering why nobody really talks about this movie and now I kind of see why.
